When The Government Asks For An Independent Consultation | Utopia

A new season of Utopia is coming Wednesday 7 June 8pm to ABC TV + iview! ☕

That will be $100,000 please

Reality. There are real bastards ripping off our tax dollars

I love how much better my job seems after watching these.

PWC
Deloitte

Classic stuff. And sadly so, so, true.

Does the fact that Tony doesn't know Ken mean that HollowMen isn't canon to the "Utopia cinematic universe" xD

PWC model.....

Bahahahahhahahahah how that went from zero to 100% go go go in 3 seconds

I've seen this movie (in real life) more times than I can count on two hands. Smart money knows that they conclude something other than what the government wants to conclude, at their own peril. Just ask the bloke who prepared the initial heritage assessment of the Powerhouse Museum in Ultimo, whose contract was ended after he'd delivered the draft of his report to the government, but before they received the final version of it. (Spoiler you can probably guess: It concluded that the parts of the building the government wanted to tear down to put up something that looks like a 1970s classroom building from America, had heritage value and should be preserved.) They actually replaced his firm with another that concluded (surprise) that the parts the government wanted to tear down had no heritage value.

is this just the aussie yes minister?

Auditors seem be just as " independent"

As much as I’d like to watch the news series…I just can’t. At least not without enough downers in me to kill a very fast train..

Laughing already. The leaning in on ' secret'. can't wait!!

Looking forward to the return.Funny and frustrating at the same time.

Absolutely love the impeccable timing between Rob and Neil. Their work in The Hollowmen was outstanding entertainment ❤️👍✨

Let the number crunchers work their MAGIC.......

‘No nothing now’ 😂😂

They look old for Consultants.... most Partners are retired off by mid-50's and the consultants in their 20's and 30's, at least these guys look like they have life experience.

Definitely not how it’s done in Queensland /s

The irony here is this show is on the ABC....

Now I know why this series has never been broadcast in New Zealand. The current government likes to keep its operational methodologies secret. They did promise to be the most open and transparent government in New Zealands' history. And we all know that whatever a government says, the opposite is the truth.

Morrison spent 20 billion in his last yr for consultants ??

Ha. I've had numerous experiences with the big 4 and they are not much more that parasitic grifters with no subject matter experience.

The gravy train never stops when you're corrupt.

Never initiate a review fir which you don't already know the result.

Whoever writes this stuff has worked in government this is documentary not comedy.

Yep. Engines of confirmation bias.

Was this PWC running out to tell their clients about the new government initiative and how to rort it?

PWC stands for Pricks, Wankers and Cunts.

That lean forward moment was beautifully organised. Whoever directed this knows actions are worth more than script

I kid you not. I worked for a company that paid PWC to re write a 800 page policy document. They charged 600k and all they did was change punctuation and sentence structures. They did not get paid.

Pee WC tax evasion special task for ce play both ends against the taxpayers in the middle ,

I can't tell you how happy I am Utopia is returning. It gives me a reason to keep living!

I met Neil Melville (Ken) when he was doing research for playing a brass musician in A Heartbeat Away. Great sense of humour and always the twinkle in the eye 👍

ROFLMAO

I put up with 30 years of this and in the end I had a nervous breakdown and will never work again but I did go to IBAC and the Minister lost her job as did the MD and Im not joking.
If only people understood this is not a comedy it is a documentary it really happens.

This applies to any corporation where there are vested interests in getting a particular outcome.

Hi, @PwC

How on earth do you guys keep predicting the future. You’re absolutely amazing!

COMPLETELY accurate for the sickness of politically connected consultancy grift machine. Most with revolving-door senior ex-pollies greasing the corruption.
